THREE of them? Isn't the intro and breakdown all Lindsey and Christine(Stevie could NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS sing the part that Chris is singing!)?
Stevie sings on the chorus, and shakes her tatas at the end, but BuckVie owns this song(tatas aside).

Definitely just Christine and Lindsey. The whole song live is great, but that intro really sets it up beautifully. And Lindsey does a good job of shaking his tatas too, around the 1:10 mark or so LOL!

There would certainly be a lot more "Well"s thrown in.

And yeahs. She always adds that to ensure she gets the last word on everything.

Wading through the quickly getting tiresome Stevie hate, let's get back to the topic at hand.

Least favorite LB songs in Fleetwood Mac:

'Family Man' - nice flamenco guitar work can't save a sinker with a crummy chorus and the sense that it was written in 2 minutes on a napkin. A shame since Lindsey's Tango songs are otherwise uniformly strong.
'Oh Diane' - I kinda get the '50s rock vibe, but it's so wasted on this lazy excuse for a song.
'Empire State' - When even the guitars are annoying, that's a bad sign. Another crummy chorus.
'Come' - the quieter verses are all right, but once he launches into it, it's a headache I beg to go away.

That's it. I genuinely like the rest of his FM songs, including all 9 tracks of his on Tusk, which, while I get the problems people have with some of those songs, I find them fascinating and often delightful as all hell. And oh, 'Make Me A Mask' is just severely underrated.

I forgot about "Come." It's unlistenable to me. When it gets to the loud part my ears threaten to go on strike.

"Not That Funny" is hard to pass on as my least favorite, but I'd have to go with "Come" instead.

I’m probably the only person in the world who feels this way, and I’m embarrassed to say it, but Never Going Back Again is my least favorite Lindsey song. No idea why. From an objective musical standpoint I can tell that it’s an excellent song. But some deep visceral part of my brain just can’t stand hearing it.

Anyway, I think a lot of you in this thread will just love this beautiful masterpiece of a Spotify playlist I made a while back: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Z...45pgbeQU9wRGcb

I certainly hate the way he overdramatizes and whisper-sings it live.

Lord that’s a lot of Not That Funny!! I don’t HATE the song per se but I don’t think it was worthy of 10-15 minutes of time in a set or on a live album. But I’d also say the same thing about World Turning which by the time Rick and Billy were in the band was extending beyond 20 minutes. It’s just too damn much. And I did see people running for beer and bathroom breaks in 2013 and a friend in the audience text me something like “ugh this song is NOT THAT GOOD!”
